Notes
- Heavy cream and heavy whipping cream can be used interchangeably in most recipes, including this one.
- While you can use a glass bowl instead of a metal bowl, the benefit of a metal bowl is that it will stay cold longer which will lead to better results. Additionally, this can be made with a bowl and a metal whisk that have been chilled, though it is important to keep beating until the peaks form.
